Well, I searched first and found that three of the ten threads on slipping transmissions were made by me. Two for my car and one for my wifes car. I have since switched mine to a five speed, but now my wifes is acting up.
Replaced head gasket and cam seals. Car ran perfect, but was still leaking out of the cam seals. Replaced with toyota cam seals , no oil, but now the car is slipping when you take off. Felt like it was retarding the timing at first, cause it had no power. I still get a code 52 and I've tried everything to fix that. When you get going, you can punch it and it definately slips a good bit. It feels like it slips mostly in second, but it may be getting gradually worse. I'm going to drive it again in a little while and see for sure that it's not a timing issue. The car starts up perfect and purrs like a kitten, so I doubt it's that. I checked the gears and their both perfect with the bottom on 0.
Everything on this car is practically new, but I can't seem to get the bugs out of it. New motor, new paint, new tires, new wheels, new seals, new transmission filter, new mp3 player...............why does it keep finding something else to break? I've already found another transmission, but it's like five hours away. I'd rather take a beating than drive five hours. I'm getting one heck of a deal on the tranny though. Hopefully there's nothing wrong with it. (That he doesn't know about.)
Any suggestions would be appreciated..............lol
